I’m unable to download MP3 audio files when I select the 3HD Chirp voice. I can still listen to the audio online when I click “Read Aloud”, but the download function does not work consistently. I’ve tried switching to other voices such as WaveNet or Standard, and downloading works normally with those options. However, the audio quality of 3HD voice is significantly better and cannot be replaced. I would really appreciate it if you could look into this issue and fix it. I’ve already checked my credit cards and my Google Cloud account, and there are no issues on my end.

Thanks a lot, Michael. I was looking for a replacement for the "natural voices" I used on Microsoft Edge for Windows, but there's no such feature on Microsoft Edge for Linux. This made my transition to Linux a lot softer. Thanks again!

It's pretty good; it's exactly what I wanted! Easy setup; just you need GCP API key; and you're ready to go. Thank you developer!

Bravo, Michael! I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for this incredible extension. I’ve relied on it for years-so much so that I fought tooth and nail to have it whitelisted at the school where I worked. In an era where many developers try to hustle a dollar by re-packaging API's, you’ve taken a refreshingly different approach. Allowing us to use our own API keys creates immense value from a simple bearer key. I wish more extensions followed your example. I can provide my own ChatGPT keys, yet the Google marketplace is now filled with barely functional extensions that charge monthly subscriptions just to resell GPT API at a premium. Thank you again for building such a fabulous tool. I was testing out Arc browser recently, and it took me about five minutes of browsing to realize Wavenet wasn’t installed. 😁 It’s become a must-have on all my machines, right up there with my password manager! I wish I knew how to contribute more on GitHub.
